National Coming Out Day

[commonpeople1]

I saw this video at jupiterjuniper and just had to share. The couple in it have been together for 16 years. wink_martindale and I will celebrate 12 years next week. Their first meeting involved a cheesy pick up line; Wink and I went to Bride of Chucky on our first date. They have an adopted son; I have a nephew I'm looking forward to spoiling rotten. I'm sensing a trend. ;-)

Everything they say is true (though our experience was different from theirs - we weren't bullied in high school). It DOES get better!

I feel bad for not standing up for some people who were picked on. There was nothing truly serious, but it must have felt horrible nevertheless for them. I hung out with a small group of girls and we kept to ourselves and didn't mix with anyone else - all our friends belonged to other schools so our lives were geared towards the weekends when we saw them.

That's cool you had something like the Spice Girls to fill you with inspiration and motivation to withstand those bullies. :-)
